My presentation

Heavy mobile equipment customers are asking for improved efficiency, reliability, and versatility when shopping for machinery. More recently, and to cope with high purchase costs, market trends have even been shifting to usership instead of ownership. In this service based model, OEMs must ensure that machinery is operating at peak efficiency, and without downtime. This, combined with greater demand for customization and reduced development times, is pushing OEMS to evaluate new development methodologies to design more reliable products faster. Verifying the correct lubrication of powertrain components, such as gearboxes, has always proven a difficult experimental task. Translucent acrylic parts would need to be built specifically for testing, and quantitative data proved hard to come by.

With Xflow simulation solutions from SIMULIA however, accurate quantitative data about the lubrication of complex rotating geometry can easily be obtained. In this presentation, we will show how the lubrication of an industrial equipment gearbox can be improved by verifying the impact of design changes made directly on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. We will look at wetted surface and churning loss to assess how these changes impact reliability and efficiency of the gearbox system.
